Where African Art Meets Bold Living
I'm Manny — a Calgary-based engineer and artist who grew up between worlds: the rich visual traditions of West Africa and the bold, colour-saturated culture of late-80s and 90s hip-hop. That collision is Logic & Linen.
Every piece I create starts with the same impulse — pattern as language. I take the geometric complexity found in African kente cloth, Kuba fabric, and Ndebele murals and run it through a lens of 90s hip-hop album covers, graf-art colour theory, and modern digital mosaic-making. The result is something that doesn't belong to any single tradition, but feels immediately familiar to anyone who's lived between cultures.
Logic & Linen started as a side project and grew into a full collection of African-inspired home decor and apparel — woven throw blankets, wall tapestries, graphic tees, and hoodies — each one an original design, not a stock print, not a template. Every pattern is drawn before it ever becomes a product.
The blankets are jacquard woven — the pattern lives in the cloth itself, not on top of it. The tapestries are printed on fade-resistant polyester, lightweight and easy to hang. The tees and hoodies are printed on GOTS-certified organic cotton. Everything ships worldwide for free.
I'm based in Calgary, Alberta. Logic & Linen is Canadian-designed African-inspired home decor built for people who want their spaces and wardrobes to say something real — not just something decorative.
